The Foxer

Share this:

I’m standing in the middle of a rather unusual crossroads. I’m in a country with four official languages. I’m five miles from a famous prison and roughly the same distance from a famous hotel. Beneath my feet is a busy expressway. This place was once a swamp. There are five South American countries at this latitude. I can see a Hawker aircraft and some red and white gates. Vehicles here drive on the left side of the road.

Main Feature Foxer

The 127-cell honeycomb below is a fancy form of wordsearch in which every cell is used, and words can curl and zigzag but never overlap. Each hive foxer has a unique theme – the last one was ‘violins’ – but Roman respects the defoxing community far too much to disclose it prior to defoxing. What he is prepared to tell you is how many words you’re looking for. The perfectly interlocking solution to today’s puzzle is made up of 20 words.

I think I’m out of this one. The word searches are my weak spot and the ‘Where Am I?’ warm-up is frustrating me as well. Left-driving locale on the same latitude as five South American countries suggests it must be on the same latitude as Colombia-Venezuela-Guyana-Suriname-French Guyana. Southern India, Thailand, Malaysia fit those two categories. Trying to search for a Hawker airplane in Kuala Lumpur turns out to be a fool’s errand, though – too many food vendors.

Shared credit on the warm-up Foxer, a full third of all the word searches AND deciphering the theme? And all that in the span of forty minutes? I bow in the presence of a master. :) I don’t recognize your handle: if you’re new to the Foxer, I must say you’ve made quite the entrance.
